Research

It fascinates you, inspires you and drives you.
It's a specific topic you want to explore deeply, an idea you want to develop, a problem you want to solve, or a career you want to excel in.
Maybe it's an opportunity to be recognised for research you've already done.
Whatever your reason for undertaking a research higher degree, CQUniversity can help you achieve it.
A CQUni research higher degree can help you make a positive impact in your chosen field.
We are deeply engaged with our community, and our applied research focuses on meeting the real needs of the industries and communities we work with to make a tangible difference.
CQUniversity has been recognised for world-class research in a range of areas, reflecting our focus on research facilities and personnel, innovative and engaged research strategy, and success in securing highly competitive, national research grants.
When you undertake a CQUniversity research higher degree, you'll be assigned experienced, dedicated supervisors to guide you through your research journey and help keep you on track, so you can deliver applied research with real outcomes.
You'll also become part of a supportive research community and gain access to project and conference funding and support to help you reach your research goals.
With CQUni, you don't have to leave home or your job to do your RHD.
You can study online or at one of our many locations around Australia, and you can do it full-time or part-time.
If you don't yet meet the entry requirements for an RHD, we can even put you on the pathway to your research destination with our Graduate Certificate in research.
So, whether your research dream lies in agriculture, horticulture, creative writing, environmental science, new technologies, innovative education, healthy behaviours, workforce development, or a plethora of other areas, CQUniversity, like you, knows that research changes lives.
Explore your options and submit your preliminary proposal to our research team.
